Values as Foundation
The Glocalities survey contains a rich diversity of questions that are aimed at providing insights into the motivational drivers of human behaviour. The main segments of the analysis are values, cultural differences, behaviour and preferences in daily life.
Value statements are used to distinguish between Glocalities segments and to understand cultural differences, character traits, styles and trends. The survey also touches upon topics such as voting behaviour, political priorities, hobbies, music preferences, consumer and media behaviour. By combining the knowledge on individuals’ values, lifestyles and social orientations, consumer behaviour, media behaviour and socio-demographic characteristics, the Glocalities segmentation model has been created. This model is based on a deep understanding of individuals’ behaviour and opinions, which are shaped by value orientations deeply embedded within persons and society.
